@steelheart: Thanks for the input. As to any range that is mostly open to the public, I have the flexibility to make my own schedule, so I try to go weekday mornings. I wonder if the Conservation Club is busy weekdays as well? Your advice to 'make friends with land' is a good one. Thankfully, there ...

Thanks to all who replied to the original post. I plan to attend one of the upcoming gun shows to learn more about the AR.

I just know someone is going to win this while I am out. If true, then I hope they enjoy my new gun.

Just dreaming...

Great looking firearm.

If you could recommend one firearm for my purposes, what would it be? Kotar An AR-15 would be your best all-around rifle for HD, hunting, targets. Companies such as Sterling Arsenal could build a good multi-purpose rifle that would fill all of those needs. The next day I have free I plan to head to...

For those of you just learning about holsters, or who might be interested in learning a bit more about the materials and options available, Brownell's has a seven part video series on their web site that is very informative. All of the videos can be viewed here: http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/lid=14...

We recently moved into the Winchester area. Where does everyone (anyone) go to shoot out here?

I mostly shoot with a pistol, but I hope to shoot with a rifle from time to time.

Suggestions?

I have been researching AR15's, and I've followed both the recent thread and read through some of the archives for opinions and information. But, perhaps I should as a different question. Perhaps I should ask if an AR15 or something else is the right weapon to research and purchase. I want something...

I have been researching AR-15's, so adding this to my collection would really jump start my knowledge

OK. I think I have (finally) gotten rid of the squeaking. Initially I thought the noise was primarily from the J-Clips (they plastic clips the velcro to my belt for maximum concealment). However, after using wax, and then saddle soap, the noise continued. I was rather annoyed with the continuing noi...

Have you pinpointed where the noise is? I have a super tuck for my 226. The squeak came from the where the barrel end of the slide contacted the leather. I simply scuffed that area & the noise vanished. Not yet. I thought I had before I tried wax. The noise continues... I will work on one spot ...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will start with saddle soap and report back.

I have a Crossbreed mini-tuck. It is part leather and part kydex. It's a nice holster, but recently I've noticed enough squeak that I am convinced people either think my sneakers are really annoying or I'm carrying. I've tried using a bit of wax on the pinch points to quiet the holster down. It help...

I've been using a Crossbreed Mini-Tuck for some time. It's been comfortable, but not perfect. Advantages: Quick draw (once accessed, such as moving your shirt). Reassuring "click" as the gun snaps into the kydex. Great conceal-ability, especially with their J-Hook package. It holds up very...

Zephyp,

OK, I'll ask... and expose myself as a Newb.

Why do you "always carry a coat hangar, a roll of black tape, and a bit of string" ?

OK, I now have a few months experience, and I thought I would add my own thoughts. Thanks, by the way, to everyone who replied to my original question. I ended up purchasing a Crossbreed Mini-Tuck IWB holster. I seriously considered several, and I doubt this will be my last. I wear the holster as of...

OK you experienced folks, help us beginners out. How do you carry, and what are your best tips to prevent making it obvious to others that you have a weapon on you? I've been trying an IWB holster, but unless I play with placement and wear a nice dark polo that is partially untucked (to create what ...
